DC is celebrating March 8's International Women's Day all March long with a series of variant covers featuring some of the most famous women in the DC Universe from a variety of up-and-coming women artists.

On the character side, some of the heroes and villains taking the spotlight on the covers include Nubia, Mary Marvel, and of course Wonder Woman. There's also a cover featuring several of the women of Wildstorm, and a particularly cute variant featuring Ma Kent receiving her very own Superman family jacket from Kal-El and the gang.

In terms of creators, the variants include contributions from Skylar Patridge, Maria Laura Sanapo, Laura Martin, Lynne Yoshii, Rebeka Isaacs, Carrie Strachan, Qistina Khalidah, Jasmin Darnell, Eleonora Carlini, Cathy Kwan, and more.
